A FILM BY JOE HENDO
Apart from photography I’m also a film editor, director, and a documentarian. Below are a wide array of film projects, both personal and commissioned, that I’ve worked on over the past few years, just to provide a versatile selection of my different styles of work

SALAD SERIES
These two installments of an on going experiment were my first steps toward documental film work. The first installment (left) titled VIDEO SALAD is an accumulation of footage from various social engagements attended and recorded over the course of 2019 and tossed together rather impressively. The second installment (right) titled SUMMER SALAD is a combination footage from 2 beautiful days i had w/ my friends: dave, dame, and marr recorded in different parts of Detroit, MI during the summer of 2020
